A Boynton, GA radio legend of 50 years was honored with a
Tommy Jett, a radio personality who started in the 1960s
with WFLI radio in Chattanooga, was surrounded by his “close personal friends” as Tommy Jett Drive
was unveiled near the intersection of Ga. 193 and Happy Valley Road near his north Georgia home in
the Fox Den subdivision.
Matt Legend at walkermessenger.com reports Jett is grateful
to be alive to see a road named in his honor after he nearly died on another
nearby road, during a serious accident that Jett had on April 18 on Ga. 2A in Rossville.
"I was shocked, honored and humbled by it because so
many people have hung in with me down through the years, going with 50 years on
the air."
Several of the Walker County Emergency Services personnel
were on hand, including Jordan Gitgood, the first to arrive on the scene. Jett
praised Gitgood’s efforts for keeping calm in a situation that Jett feels he is
lucky to have lived through.
Jett’s weekly oldies show now airs on LPFM WAAK in Boynton , GA.
